Course summary

Negative

The course is generally seen as challenging, with a heavy workload and confusing lectures that require extensive self-study. It's practical for finance and computer science enthusiasts but may be overwhelming for beginners.

Grading

Grading is not generous; the final exam heavily relies on previous assignments and lecture content, making it difficult to achieve an A without consistent effort.

Workload

The workload is moderate to heavy, with four Python JupyterLab assignments and a final exam that requires thorough preparation. Students spend about 10-12 hours per week on the course.

Assessments

Assessment includes four Python JupyterLab assignments and a final exam based on lecture content and previous assignments.

Teaching

Lectures are poorly organized, confusing, and not engaging due to the lecturer's free-form teaching style and poor English. Tutors struggle with communication in Cantonese during tutorials.

Tips

Attend lectures regularly and use GPT for checking your work; self-study is crucial as the course materials are outdated and poorly planned.
